As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue knew very well that the importance of domestic demand!

Domestic demand is a symbol of the country's national strength and the basis for the empire's struggle for hegemony!

Strong domestic demand countries are enough to influence the world.

Domestic demand comes from people's consumption.

To create domestic demand, a lot of things need to be done.

For example, providing employment, building infrastructure to promote employment, and then finance, services and trade should be developed.

However, many things can be omitted before BC.

Zhang Yue only needs to do one thing.

That is to provide the people with an income job!

No matter what the job it is!

Just like some time ago, when the channels were overhauled, the selected civil servants who performed well after completing the period of corvee service they should serve, they could be kept for paid services.

This immediately made Xinfeng's middle-class families temporarily more than hundreds of them.

Although, it fell after the project was completed.

However, the wages earned by these migrant workers during their service have enabled their families to live a comfortable life this winter.

To a certain extent, it has stimulated Xinfeng's consumer market.

But this is far from enough!

With temporary projects, it is difficult to produce a long-term stable middle class.

Only stable market demand can create stable middle-class families.

Under the current circumstances, the people of Xinfeng want to rely on their own hands to achieve middle class in a short period of time.

It's very difficult!

Unless in the future, the apprentices of Xinfeng Workshop Garden will become a recognized skilled craftsman.

At that time, Xinfeng might burst into a middle-class wave.

But at present, it is not visible in a short period of time.

because……

Profit-seeking businessmen are likely to choose to cut off these apprentices and recruit new apprentices in the future after they can become teachers.

Unless those who can master the skills, most apprentices may have such a fate.

This is something that Zhang Yue cannot tolerate.

But it is a very likely reality to be staged.

The blood and darkness of capital are probably unimaginable for those who have never experienced it.

Even in later generations, are there fewer sweatshops?

Has the matter of treating workers as means of production gone?

No!

It is right next to us, right around you.

I just changed my name and redecorated it, and my eating look and look were a little better.

But the essence has not changed.

Therefore, Zhang Yue had no way to seek profit-seeking capital to change his nature.

He could only find another way out and find another way.

Just like now, he thought of a solution.

Use small workshops and small handicrafts to enhance small production methods based on households.

However, it is impossible for these small workshops and household production methods to compete with those large workshops, let alone the machines of the future.

so……

Zhang Yue has to develop a technology tree for these small workshops.

A tech tree that suits them.

A product line that can avoid being defeated or eliminated by large workshops in a short period of time.

And the brick and tiles industry is the most suitable.

Before large-scale mechanized production, handicrafts are the core of the brick and tiles industry.

Even better, its investment is small.

How much does it cost to burn bricks by hand?

I'm afraid that besides coal, there's strength!

In addition, furniture is also a great career.

Because even in later generations, the single furniture manufacturing industry in rural areas was very popular.

The expansion and renovation of Xinfeng City is the best time!

With this opportunity, you may be able to support hundreds of stable emerging middle-class families.

And explore the feasibility of this path!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue left Yang Xu who was still in a daze and ran to prepare for the plan.

This made Yang Xu a little difficult to follow, but he had no choice but to wait there.

There is no way, it is obvious that Zhang Chiyou is the biggest!

…………………………

Zhang Yue ran back to his bedroom, found paper and pen, and began to write a plan.

I haven't written it for a long time and I'm a little unfamiliar.

But soon, he got into the state.

After all, he has been dealing with plans and various reports for more than ten consecutive years.

"First of all, the brick kiln..."

Zhang Yue picked up the brush and drew a simple brick kiln structure on paper.

This is very simple!

In the later 1990s, there were mud brick kilns everywhere in rural areas, and many lives were mostly because the kiln owner wanted to see the combustion of the brick kiln and climbed up rashly without taking good protection.

As a result, the brick kiln that seemed to have been extinguished is actually still burning and releasing deadly carbon monoxide...

Therefore, we only need to warn and prohibit people from going to the kiln three to four days after the brick kiln is ignited.

As for the design of the brick kiln, it doesn't take any effort.

You just need to find a mountain wall, hollow out the part, and then you can use it as a kiln.

Zhang Yue didn't even need to go backtrack, so he easily drew the basic structural diagram.

Then, it is the tool for hand-forming red bricks.

A pair of wooden molds and a wire saw for separation are all very simple things.

Such a brick kiln that can be operated by a family or even a single person can be launched.

Such brick kilns can burn at least thousands of red bricks for construction at a time.

It can basically meet the architectural needs of a Han Dynasty's most basic Japanese-shaped house.

A red brick is sold for one yuan, and it is a few thousand yuan in income.

A family can also burn four kilns a year, which is almost 20,000 yuan.

It is infinitely close to the middle class standards of the Han family!

Moreover, this small brick kiln can also undergo industrial upgrading.

Turned into a pottery workshop or porcelain kiln.

It is the most suitable family project for the Han Dynasty on the BC.

Moreover, it is very effective in employment!

If a small brick kiln is in operation, as the scale of the industry expands, it will definitely hire workers.

But brick kilns are all physical work, so the wages cannot be low!

At that time, maybe a brick kiln will go to the workshop garden to grab people, and then force the workshop garden to give in to the workers in order to retain people.

Of course, this is just an idea.

Zhang Yue didn't dare to pin his hopes on this matter.
